Fab Read: Different Like Coco

Any burgeoning little fashionista's dream is right here between the end-pages of this book: Different Like Coco, $11.55. The author, Elizabeth Matthews, beautifully illustrates the high points of Coco Chanel's life with both words and watercolor images. Well, she covers some of the low points too - like when Chanel was a poor and orphaned child. If you know a little girl who would love to know why LBDs hold such a favored position, or who just likes a good story - this would be the perfect gift. Plus, it has a great message: that being different isn't such a bad thing.

Although I already have a few Coco biographies, I would like this one. Especially for the watercolour images.
I'm not sure though it will be on sale in France...
Coco truly is a great role model : it is Cinderella minus Prince Charming (in a positive way then : she did not need a man to make it into society and life, she made it on her own with her amazing talent).
